Is there something I should know?

about you

from JoeUser Forums
I read a lot of blogs on JU. I am starting to learn little tid bits here and there but know even from my own blogging there is so much more to tell yet....

So I was wondering, is there something you consider important about who you are, or some little fact you think pinpoints your personality that you'd like to share?

I'd love to hear your self descriptions or even experiences, anything you think is important.

If you can't think of anything it could be something like, "If I had to describe who I am to a stranger in one sentence it would be...."

I will start.

If I had to describe myself I would say "Work in Progress."

A little unknown fact, I was in the Air Force for 4 years.....many moons ago.

My official answer has been and will always be: "I'm a 69-yr. old transvestite who likes to play war." Unofficially, I'm just an ornery guy who found a nook here in JU. Hi, Tova7, nice meetin' you.

Wow, Ju is just a HOTBED of activity on Sat night isn't it? Buwhahhaah.

Well I am off to converse with the sandman. Hope he has some strong tales to weave this night. I am exhausted.

I have read most of your postings.  And love them!  You do have a flair for writing (as does Shovel and Kelly).

Ok, I have shared some, but you may have missed them.  I have 4 children, who I adore, and I am divorced and remarried.  My wife (I dont like to call her second or whatever), is a wonderful person that bitch slaps me when I need it (not often), and holds me when I need it as well.

And I leak out things on my blog as they seem relevant.  Suffice it to say, that my life is kind of boring compared to yours.  While I have not had a real father, I have always had a real mother.  And we fight like no tomorrow!  But I greatly respect and admire her.

I'm the only Red-Headed, Freckle-Faced, Left-Handed, Colorblind, Guitar Pickin', Harmonica Blowin', Married, Father of 4, LDS, Disabled Vet on the Net. That about covers the basics. ;~D

Yes, I read your articles, and usually like what I see.

I've been trying for five bloody minutes to write who I am in one sentence, and I can't seem to do it.

A list? 35, woman, Canadian, single parent, 'relationship consultant' (hehehe I always laugh at that!), friendly, moody, fiscally-challenged, prone to usless crushes, matter-of-fact, and appreciative of the good stuff in life.

Well Tova a few things huh? I see you're reading my blog and thanks for that

I've worked mostly in the health field, until arthritis ( 3 kinds) forced me to change jobs.
Even though I wanted to stay home with the children, my income was needed to survive.


I've two beautiful adult children, 4 grandkids!

I'm more than a survivor, rather like one of those ballons one punches and they pop right
back....hard to keep me down.
I've had 2 heart attacks, caused by the LAD dissecting, most people drop dead from it, not me.
I'm too tough, well maybe that's too ornery.

It is kinda hard I admit.

You sound like someone I need to get to know better NickyG.

4 grandkids!


I missed that in your blogs....which I enjoy tremendously!

Do they call you Grandma?

I'm too tough, well maybe that's too ornery.


Well whatever it is sista....keep it up!

I am an "ex."


So that makes you an EX-pert on lots of topics...all of which I find vastly educational and entertaining.

I have to tell you I had to show off some of my new knowledge (thanks to you and Simon) at a family gathering last weekend, and I'll have you know it was received rather well. I was only called demon possessed twice. So you see, even my family is as open minded as I am when it comes to things of an EX-traordinary nature.

I am fun, friendly and outgoing, sometimes, okay lots of times crazy woman. Navy wife (though having major marriage difficulties), mom to three boys, home daycare provider, court reporting student, lately health nut - though I wish it would all come faster - I guess we'll add impatient to that list, music lover, dog lover, nature lover, internet addict, recovering Dr. Pepper aholic, roller coaster enthusiast (that sounds lame-o but how else do you say it? - that's what they call it on the discovery channel), movie buff, reader of mysteries, hate to clean but love to have a clean house, love to make mixed media collage but can't quite call myself an artist yet.

I;v egot nothing much to add, other than the fact this darn title makes the "Please, pleast tell me now..." Duran Duran song gets stuck in my head every time time I see it, lol. I guess that's a telling fact...

Hey Tova...
Hmm..it is hard to define yourself in one sentence. Me, I try to stay away from anything serious, real and internet, if you are looking for fun and adventure, I am your girl!

Although, if I have to be faced with serious issues, I deal with them as quickly as possible. I like to solve the trouble and move on. I am speaking of the life on the outside of JU, that is.

I am learning stuff about people here with this article. Very smart....

Even though I've responded to some of your posts, let me re-introduce myself: I'm Rose, nice to meet ya.

I teach...love to read...sing in the shower; sing in the car...love music...like to bake... am absent-minded, introverted, sometimes goofy... long to travel more (would love to go to Spain, maybe Italy) ... am now past that "turning point" age of 30 (turned 31 not too long ago)...

I have a smart alecky, no nonsense, but sweet b/f ...love my nieces...love my family...value education...value being American...value my Mexican heritage as well...would like to have the guts someday to sing karaoke...often pray for my grandmother, who has diabetes, and for my aunt, who has aids...and I want to make a difference in the world!!

Oh, also my fave color is blue and my favorite animal is a panda.

There is soooo much more, but I will not bother you with it all right now...maybe another time!
